Pulmonary Embolism - Killer Clots
Pulmonary Embolisms are the leading cause of preventable hospital deaths in the United States. A pulmonary embolism can occur when a blood clot forms in the deep veins of the leg or pelvis, known as deep-vein thrombosis (DVT), and then breaks free and travels to the lungs, where it blocks a pulmonary artery or one of its branches. Hospitals are improving screening for potential risk factors such as obesity, smoking, and a family history of clotting problems.

What You Need to Know About Life-threatening Blood Clots
Life threatening blood clots are a growing problem in hospitals.
  • Clots kill some 200,000 hospital patients in the U.S. each year.
  • Institutions are increasingly screening patients for risk and taking measures to prevent clots.
  • Patients are being urged to get up and start moving soon after procedures.
  • DVT followed by pulmonary embolism is fatal about 30% of the time.
  • Sudden pain in the leg or shortness of breath are common symptoms of DVT.
  • More than 60% of patients who enter the hospital have at least three risk factors for DVT.
Are your patients at risk for DVT?
Smoking and obesity increase risks, but so do other factors.
  • Recent elective hip or knee replacement surgery
  • Recent major surgery lasting more than 45 minutes
  • Recent laparoscopic surgery lasting more than 45 minutes
  • Family history of blood clotting disorders
  • Recently confined to bed rest for more than 72 hours
  • Use of birth control or hormone replacement therapy
  • Pregnant or delivered baby in the last month Aged 41-60 years
  • Varicose veins
  • Legs are currently swollen
